PARKLAND, Fla. — Less than six weeks before Nikolas Cruz committed one of the deadliest school shootings in American history, someone who knew him called an FBI tip line to complain about him, the agency revealed on Friday.
But no one followed up.

Bad stuff and should be part of the discussion. A person taking tips did not forward to the Miami bureau and that is on them.

It is not good, but I submit it is a fact that they have prevented many many more than this by great and quick response.

That does not mitigate the mistake in any way. Would it have stopped the shooting...who knows but maybe is close enough. They owned up within 24 hours and began their own investigation.
